Hi Claudio,
We've all seen the videos and heard the stories. Someone walks up to a person who looks 'foreign' and demands that they act/speak/look 'American' only to be told that the 'foreigner' grew up here and is really just as American as anyone else.
Joe Kye is a Korean-born fellow, who moved to the US at age 6. He experiences some aspect of being told 'you're different' just about every day- even in his US hometown of Seattle. But ultimately Seattle came to his rescue, presenting the young Joe the opportunity to play violin in the school system. It proved to be his escape, and the songs on Joe's upcoming album Migrants reflect the immigrant experience, and what it's like to live stuck between two worlds.
I have CDs! I'll be happy to send you one- just ask. The tunes, press release, and Joe's story are all available at joekye.rockpaperscissors.biz
Best, Ron
